Ebola Infection Blocked In Cell-culture Experiments

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - 12:14 in Biology & Nature

Researchers have discovered two biochemical pathways that the Ebola virus relies on to infect cells. Using substances that block the activation of those pathways, they've prevented Ebola infection in cell culture experiments -- potentially providing a critical early step in developing the first successful therapy for the deadly virus.
